Sandy Springs Christian Church - Disciples of Christ

Sandy Springs Christian Church recognizes that outreach is central to our faith and our identity as Christians. We are committed to helping our neighbors locally, nationally and internationally by doing hands-on ministry, raising funds, and collecting supplies for various ministries and agencies in Atlanta and around the world. The Outreach ministry team encourages the congregation to think broadly in terms of mission and to have a keen awareness of the word’s needs. Our programs are consistent with Christ’s teachings to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and love others as we love ourselves.

SSCC's hands-on Outreach Programs include:

Youth Mexico Mission
Each spring, our High School youth travel to Tijuana, Mexico for an incredible week of serving God's people. Working with AMOR Ministries, we build homes for the poorest of the poor. This work camp is a life changing experience for everyone involved.

Community Action Center (CAC)
CAC provides family services for people transitioning through difficult stages of their life. Sandy Springs Christian Church supports CAC through funding and food drives several times a year. We also have representatives volunteering at the center itself.

Campbell-Stone Christian Centers
Sandy Springs Christian Church members lend a hand at the Campbell-Stone retirement communities by staffing the gift shop and helping residents with errands.

Initiatives for Affordable Housing
Our church members work with Initiatives to rebuild houses around the Atlanta area. These homes are made available to low income families who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

Sandwich making for MUST Ministries
Ministries United for Services and Training is an interfaith organization assisting needy people in our region. Sandy Springs Christian Church works with MUST Ministries to provide funding and food for children in need. Quarterly sandwich making days are held with 600 sandwiches made for the clients of MUST.

Foundation for Hospital Art
The Foundation for Hospital Art provides art in medicine, specifically for children's hospitals all over the world. We provide financial support and help coordinate paintings in our metro area.

Adult Mission Trip
Members and friends of SSCC will travel to New Orleans during Thanksgiving week, November 18-24, 2007, to aid in recovery from the Gulf Coast hurricanes.

Anniversary Weekend Service Day
Each September we have a service day as part of our Anniversary Weekend celebration.

We're alert to opportunities to add more “hands on” outreach ministries. Please join us in service!
